Explained: What is the ‘chatter’ blighting Jorge Martin’s Ducati?
Analysing the 'chatter' problem in Jorge Martin's Ducati, and wh🐬y it is so frustrating for a MotoGP ride𝔉r

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin’s weekend at the Qatar MotoGP was blighted by chatter problems.
The Pramac rider somehow still q꧋ualified on pole position, won the sprint race, and finished the grand prix on the podium.
Without chatter issues, Martin reckons he can soon 💖become unbeatable.
What is chatter?
“Chatter is, essentially, a frequency of vibrat𝓀ion through thꦆe machine,” Michael Laverty explained on TNT Sports.
“It💛 can start from the rear tyre, it can start from the front. It is a frequency.
“It is so fru๊strating, as a rider. Your handlebars start 💖to oscillate.
“You don’t ⛦have grip from the tyres, they are skipp🎶ing really fast on the ground.
“Ducati have a mass damper in the seat unit, that does dampen out the frequency but it doesn’t se𒈔em to be doing enough right now.
“It can come from suspension, damper adjustment, tyre ✃pressure…
“There are lots of ways to dia▨l it in or try to make it better for the rider.
“But there is no🐽 scientific method of how to eradicate chatter. It can be such a frustrating problem to have.”
Martin complained after the Qatar grand prix: “At tಌhe moment we have🌼 vibrations. I cannot use the rear brake and there are some points that are my strongest areas of riding which I cannot use.
“Let’s wait and let the engineers work. I have d🍬one my part, now they need to do theirs.”
He ad🎀ded: “I’m not riding 100% of the package with the new bi👍ke. If we improve I guess we can be much more competitive.”
Martin said after the Saturday sprint: “I don’t want to speak a lot about the problem bec𒆙ause I don’t know if I can. But I had some issues which were the same as in the test.
“During the weekend it was quite okay but today it wasn’t so we need to understand well and make a𒉰 step.
“As soon as we solve that problem🌞 I can be much faster. It is what it is but let’𝓡s try to take the maximum out of the situation.”
